Friday 25th May

We had a great start to the week and some very beautiful discussions about the different emotions we feel, how we feel them, what our face and body look like when we feel them and what we can look for in others so we can understand better how they are feeling. The children had some fun with play dough to show how faces look when and drew some very thoughtful pictures to show how they feel.

 Following on from Science Week, we have been doing some more experiments with water and sand to learn about capacity which was a lot of fun. 

We also started to look at < less than and > more than to compare two different containers filled with liquid.

Science Week

Our class experiment for Science Week looked at the question 'Can flowers change colour?'. 

This linked into our Inquiry unit looking at plants and the children were able to use their knowledge from the past few weeks to guide them in their science experiment.

Friday 18th May

We have had a great week this week and been able to discuss and role play how to play nicely with others. It was lovely to see how much the children have grown and how aware they are of each other and their feelings. They are becoming very compassionate and empathetic.

In Mindfulness we did our workbooks and we also spent some time doing Mindful looking and actually looked at our friends to see what new things we could notice about them

This also helped us when we were working in groups coming up with rhyming words for poetry!

Congratulations to those who got a Green Card certificate today!
